Hi

While fiddling around with my BIOS settings I noticed the following 
as measured by PCTools SI on my 486 DX2/66 with Seagate 5850A and a 
ISA base I/O card. With the CPU turbo enabled the data tranfer rate 
was 1177 K/s and the SI rating 39.2, with the turbo disabled the 
values were 1465 and 48.8. Any ideas? BTW the turbo/non turbo is the 
right way around!

Al
